Berwick Camp Kayaking - Lilly

On Tuesday the 16^th of April at room 4s class camp. Room 4 did heaps of activities on that particular day. One of the activities that we did was the kayaking in the Berwick pond with Stewart Hall (Jenn’s dad), April Nijland (my Mum) and Chris Trotter (my Dad). First we got used to being in the kayaks by paddling round the dirty weedy slightly mossy pond. I was in the bright blue kayak. After we had got used to paddling round the weedy pond, we paddled downstream to the end. It was quite hard to not get stuck in the weed. When we got to the end I decided to get out of the kayak to see if I could touch the bottom but I couldn’t because it was so deep. I got back into the kayak and stood up paddling on the way back I fell into the pond and got caught up with weed gross! I stood up again and paddled the whole way back without falling off again. Once we had got back we paddled to the deepest part of the pond and we all jumped out and put our heads under “I did it multiple times”. After we had done that we all lined up and we tried to walk along the kayaks when it was my turn I got stuck between two kayaks and I slipped into middle splits screamed then fell into the murky weedy water in the process swallowing water. We had to stop then because the next group is here when we are walking back we hitch a ride with Mr Sloan and Ms Greer (the strangers).
